If they were factory style lens with a halo worked in I would say they are sweet, personal I don't care for the look and if you do them and leave your headlights stock it might look silly. It may look good if you did projector head lights with it as well.

Look sweet , but only good for looks cause they will not produce much light and that goes for the projection headlight too.

i will modify them to fit my hid's i have...the object of having projectors is to be able to aim the light where you want it and have a cut off line...not to mention i think they look pretty cool

Throwing HIDs in those will not produce a very good cutoff. Those little projectors are round bodies, designed for use with the round output of a halogen filament bulb. HIDs burn in an elliptical pattern that will miss the focal point of those ebay projectors resulting in poor performance. You need projectors designed for use with HID for proper output and a smooth cutoff. To do this you will need to retro-fit HID projectors into the factory housings. Here's what mine look like:

I have the exact same set off of eBay. So they fit HIDS? I didn't think they would.

Ya they fit HID. Great lights. Looks really good too. Here is another pic at a different angle.

Good luck

FMF150 can we get a cutoff pic against a wall in pitch dark? Try to capture the entire width of the beam. Thanks.
